He said this calls for all well-meaning Zambians to rise and create a gigantic movement which no imperialist force will destroy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the strongest army in the world sets up in your territory, you can no longer maintain your independence, territorial integrity and sovereignty,\u201d Dr. M\u2019membe has said.<\/p>\n<p>He has however noted with concern that what previous Republican Presidents rejected is what President Hakainde Hichilema is allowing in the country, charging that the Americans have come to take away the country\u2019s honour and sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe American Military have made it clear that their presence is to protect American interests&#8230;..but you may wish to know that American interests are not our interests. The interest of an imperialists can never be our interest where were they when we were fighting for our independence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>And Dr M\u2019membe said allowing the American Army to set up an office or installations in the country is a danger to Democracy. Dr M\u2019membe said this is because the Americans would never allow a political party that opposes its agenda to rule the country. He cited Patrice Lumumba of then Zaire, Samora Marchel of Mozambique and Abdel Gamal Nasser of Egypt as some of the leaders the Americans disliked and toppled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can say it is not a military base they are setting up but look at what is happening to Ghana today, the Americans would not allow a political party that oppose their stay to come into government. This kills Democracy,\u201d Dr M\u2019membe stated. Meanwhile, Dr M\u2019membe said the presence of American Military in any country yields destabilisation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhichever country they have gone to there is no peace. This is what our government is bringing to us, to threaten our peace. A country that is a colony can never develop. They have destroyed Libya, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, we know that they are supporting separate forces in Ethiopia,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Dr M\u2019membe has since called upon citizens to defend the independence and sovereignty the country has enjoyed. \u201cThis calls for cooperation, solidarity, Humility&#8230;&#8230;. the issues we are talking about are not small issues. These are issues that give us an identity. We make a clarion call to all citizens and Democrats to work side by side with us and defend our dignity and existence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zambia\">Zambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
